water and sewerage services are delivered to the
customer at an affordable rate, while ensuring that
WASCO can manage and operate in an economic
and efficient manner.
In the execution of its powers and functions, the
Commission primarily relies on three organs:
a Board of Commissioners who oversee the
operations of the Commission; electricity and
water Advisory Committees which give advice to
the NURC on matters relating to the Commission’s
functions as the Commission may determine;
and its Secretariat, which comprises a mix of
professional and administrative staff who are led
by the Chief Executive Officer.
In addition to its regulatory functions and powers
over the water and electricity sector in Saint
Lucia, the NURC is also responsible for providing
resources which empower consumers with the
knowledge needed for resolving complaints with
the service providers that it regulates (WASCO
and LUCELEC). The NURC provides free impartial
information and advice to all electricity and water
consumers and acts as a neutral third party or
intermediary to those who have been unable to
obtain redress or those who are dissatisfied with
the decision of the service provider.
The NURC serves a variety of stakeholders. As a
regulator, the NURC’s work impacts not only the
companies and individuals under its regulatory
authority, but also the consumers of the services
which these companies provide and those
otherwise invested in any of the service areas that
the NURC regulates.
